...to be honest I really don't think he wants to name is price publicly, and I believe earlier in this thread he mentioned using the PM system to find out costs etc - if you are really interested in wanting to purchase the site, then I suggest you do PM him to get to know what costs will be incurred to you personally for the site and domain.

Exactly Daryl, I don't want to plaster my asking price all over the front page as you get people saying "It's not worth that" or "It's worth way more than that" etc... There are currently a few people interested and they all don't appear to have a problem with the asking price.

I'm having to do something that I never thought I would have to do and that is to sell Fruit-Emu. Things have massively changed in my life over the last 6 months that have meant that I no longer have any time to maintain the site, I can't pay for it anymore and to be honest I need the money. Moderators and admins for the site have already been given first refusal on the sale and I'm no opening it up to all members. Ideally I would like the site to go to someone in the FME community as I know it would be looked after but if no-one is interested then it will be sold to a wider audience.In an ideal world I would give the site away but at this stage that isn't an option for me as I've put too much into the site. I would assist with the transfer of the site to another server/VPS and would be willing to give technical support during any transition. The site cannot be hosted on a shared hosting platform as it would be shut down pretty quick due to the server resources it uses. Here are some statistics for the size of the website:Webspace Required for SiteTotal size of web site = 41GbAttachments = 19GbDownloads = 11.5GbScreenshots = 1GbGallery = 4.5GbDatabase Size = 484MbWebsite IncomeThese figures are for advertising income and for donations combined:Jan 2014 £67Dec 2013 £112Nov 2013 £60Oct 2013 £133Sep 2013 £96Aug 2013 £225Jul 2013 £36Jun 2013 £51May 2013 £76Apr 2013 £57Mar 2013 £66Feb 2013 £91There are possibilities to monetise the site further but I've only ever attempted to cover hosting costs.

​The sale would include the transfer of all software licences for invision board.If you are interested in making an offer for the site or have any questions then please PM me. Ideally I need payment via Paypal as I can't have any money going through my bank account at the moment.Alan

Running a website isn't always about specs but about service and how a company reacts to problems. Your $5 server is going to be shutdown in a heartbeat if you over step the mark on resources as we have had done to us a number of times before getting a dedicated server. Bare in mind that the FE server also runs another 12 web sites as well, mostly for nothing. We use a ton of processor power (being a PHP/MySQL website) and also a ton of bandwidth.

I'm looking forward to it - it might not be so graphic-intensive as presently on my iPad2 - although iOS 6 on my iPhone 5 is very fast, so hopefully it will be much more snappier, as duplu has mentioned.

I'm also very much looking forward to the latest OS X release from Apple too - OS X Mavericks looks very much the 'biz' and if is as cheap as OS X Mountain Lion was - it will be well worth the cost to make the iMac run much more smoothly.
